Follow along to DC Comics' Dawn of DC panel from Wondercon with our liveblog!
https://twitter.com/Thomas_Dreyfuss/...81469402648576Now time to chat Harley Quinn (Tini Howard, Sweeney Boo) Tini Howard speaks to exploring parts of characters from a perspective that men may not explore. She likes to see characters making choices that matter "when they're up against a wall."
Howard points out that Harley Quinn is about laughing at those hard choices that Harley has to make (as opposed to Howard's work on Catwoman, which is more series).
Howard extolls the amazing qualities of Sweeney Boo's art (in general and on the Harley Quinn series).
This new run will start on issue 28. Howard talks about the benefits of writing Harley after this post-ironic version of Harley has been shown in film and in comics. Now Howard can show both the post-ironic and the sincere sides of the character.
Howard talks about relating to the character of Harley Quinn and HQ's mental illness and how maintaining the regular parts of life like a girlfriend, a job, or hobbies, can feel heavier with the weight of mental illness.
About Catwoman (Howard and Nico Leon), Howard says that she likes having characters in a low place to show who they really are.
Howard points out that Selina "listens to women in a way that men in power don't always" and how "Selina is kind of their protector, even if they don't know it.
Catwoman #53 just came out this week. Howard says that #50 is a great place to jump on. She hints that DC is building to big things, bigger things than we've ever seen with Catwoman.

Hal is usually a character that I'm not interested, but with Adams in charge I'm really thinking of picking it up.
About the Cyborg's series, are those two members of the HIVE in the Teen Titans cartoon? It's nice to see them adapted to the main DC universe.
And about Harley...I'm still not convinced with Howard's direction, let's just hope she doesn't turn her again into a knockoff of Deadpool.

I recognize Gizmo, See More and Billy Numerous. The robot looking dude... I think its the guy from that early season episode who tried to make Cyborg full robot.

Definitely some strong cartoon vibes with Gizmo's design, See-More, and Billy Numerous. That could be their take on Fixit.

That’s pretty cool to see Seemore and Billy Numerous make their comic book debut.
I really hope Jinx shows up. I always liked the relationship between her and Vic. The tech/magic romance. She could be his Catwoman.
